ACTIVITIES ARE VARIED Salmon Packing, Mining, Dry Goods and Canvas Products Claim Attention at Times. Vincent Cook, Portland pioneer, died yesterday atternoon at his home, 426 Fifth street, at the age of 82 years. His death marked the close of a lifetime which has been practically one with the develop ment of Portland and of Oregon eince 1854. He is survived by his widow, Mar tha Matilda Cook; two sons, Floyd J. Cook of Portland and Kay A. Cook, whose home is in southern Oregon, and a daughter, Lelia A., now Mrs. George Maxwell of Asp grove, Klamath county, Oregon. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. Many branches of industry from the early years of Oregon down to the present have known the name of Cook salmon packing, mining, drygoods, canvas products and oth ers. For eome years, however, he had lived a life of retirement from active business, but his name still kept its place in civic and commu nity affairs. Oresron Vlnlted In 1854. A pioneer in every sense- was Vincent Cook. He came to Oregon with his mother, a brot'her, J. W. Cook, and a sister, but five years after" the discovery of gold in. Cali fornia, made the trip from New York on the Star of the West, one of the storied old ships of the early days. The party came by way of Nicaragua, Greytown and San Fran cisco, and then north up .the coast to Portland, to join other members of the family, Horatio Cook, th-e father, and two brothers, George -and Horatio, Who had come west tin 1So2 across the plains. In 1865 Mr. Cook went into, part nership with his brother, J. W. Cook, in the manufacture of bags tents and other articles. Three years later he withdrew and en tered the drygoods firm of Clarke, Henderson & Cook, at First and Washington streets, where he re mained for a six-year period, leav- ing to enter the salmon packing business, in which he made rapid etri-des, increasing -his holdings and remaining an active factor up until 1896. Mining, more of an activity in the early years of Oregon's development than it is now, claimed part of his attention in 1888 when- he- entered partnership with Oapt. A. P. An- keny and H. E. Ankeny In the Ster ling Mining company, operating in Jackson county. Mr. Cook later became president and chief execu tive of "the concern Service Given The Oregonlan. Mr. Cook came of English stock, although he himself was born in Chicago, February 26, 1841, where his father, an. expert cabinet maker, had been successful. The father in his years in Oregon established the Cook & Sons furni ture factory, one of the first in Portland. In his first years in Portland Mr. Cook, e. youth of about 15. was an employe of The Oregonian. It was his practice to arise each morning at 4 o'clock and go to the office with a fellow worker, Edward Cor nell, and there fold papers which they later delivered through the sparsely settled town. Mr. Cook's first marriage was to Miss Oronoco L. Ankeny, daughter of Captain Ankeny, his minin-g part ner. She died in 1897. His second marriage was in 1907. He was numbered among the six survivors of the 80 charter members of the Arlington club and was one of th oldest Oddfellows in the state.

Geraldine Farrar. who will sing In recital at the auditorium tonight under the direction of Steers & "We cannot save the people until we teach them; we cannot teach the people until we reach tmem." This is the motto of the Home Visitation of -International Sunday Schools, from which F. Shreve Dunham, su perintendent of that organization, drew his text in addressing the as semblv of the 37th annual conven tion of the Oregon - Sunday School association last night at the First Methodist church. - Full-hearted and unbigoted co operation of every sect in the coun try, from Jew to Catholic, from Baptist to Chritian Scientist, is nec essary for this reaching of the peo ple, Mr. Dunham went on to say. "To combat the present undeniable gutterward tendencies of the rising generation, we must have every Sunday school supervisor alive on his toes to help every other one, re gardless of creed,' he said. "What ever money is necessary for the con summation of such co-operation will be made up tenfold in the pre vention of crime and degeneracy which today goes on to a deplorable extent unimpeded. Mr. Dunham's address was the finale to a day's programme of con siderable scope and variety. The convention was opened by Mayor Baker, who welcomed the delegates gathered from all parts of the state, on behalf of the city, subsequently pemarking that the present age of jazz., short skirts, "cake eaters" and airy scorn on the part of the young for parental authority and family bends cried for such preventive work as the Sunday schools could give. Other speakers of the morning were O. F. Carson, president of the association; Chief of Police Jen kins, U. R. Marvin, James Palmer, Mrs A. L. Veazie and Rev. R. E. Close. ine administrative division, con vening at 3 P. M., was addressed by Rev. B.

The convention will continue today and Friday, a feature of the latter day's programme to be the speech of W. C. Pearce, secretary of tho World's Sunday School associa tion, who has journeyed all the way from New York to address the Ore gon members.

STATE GETS SURPRISE Defendant Testifies He Killed Glen H. Price, Dry Agent, . in Self-Defense. DALLAS, Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.) The case of Philip Warren, Indian, charged with the murder of Glenn H Price and Grover C. Todd, prohi bition agents, went to the jury at 4 :30 P. M. today. The jury had not reached a verdict at a late hour to- night. The trial took on intense Interest when the defendant took the stand this morning, declaring that he had shot Price in self-defense, and de nying that he had ever seen Todd. The Indian swore that Price had shot at him when he resisted arrest. and that he fired back to prevent being killed. The state has admitted that Price struck Warren on the head with his pistol, and that he fired one shot at him, but the poinl of who shot first is in dispute. The defense has contended that Price and "Jap" Perry had been drinking with the alleged moonshiner, and that Warren was so dazed by the liquor and the blow on the head that he did not know what he was doing when he -fired. ' Judge Belt Surprised. The defense contrived to maneuvei Walter Tooase Jr. out of his chance to make the final plea for the state. Mr. Tooze has been assisting the prosecution. The testimony was completed at 1:30 P. M.. and District Attorney Helgerson made the opening state ment for the state. Oscar Hayter, attorney for the defense, then waived his argument to the jury. and Mr. Tooze was unable to speak. The unexpected conclusion of the trial took Judge Belt by surprise, and he adjourned court until 4 P. M. in order to prepare his instructions to the jury. Warren's Story Lucid. Warren was the only witness of importance today. He told a lucid story of the shooting, declaring that he had taken seven drinks with Price and with Perry, who was said to have been acting as 4 stool pigeon for the dry agents. The In dian admitted that he carried a re volver, but declared that he had used it only after Price had fired at him. He further declared that he had fired only five shots, and in sisted that he could not have fired more had he wished, since his re volver had only five chambers. The denial that he had even seen Todd, whom he is charged with kill ing, was a surprise to the prosecu tion. Gossip around the courtroom after the jury had retired was to the effect that Warren had been good witness, except that he showed. too much knowledge of the shooting to bear out the contention that he was drunk or dazed. LUNCHEON TO BE TODAY Gathering for All Persons Inter ested In Exposition, .In order to give all persons in terested in health education an op portunity to serve in connection with the Oregon health exposition, which opens at the public audito rium, October 26, a luncheon will be held at noon today in the Portland hotel assembly room at 12:15 P.

LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. 11. The Japanese boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 15 years in the schools of Los Angeles and San Fiancisco are the mental equals of the average American pupils in the same schools, but they lag behind the Americans in the smaller cities or the state, as Sacramento, Fresno, Stockton. Alameda and several in Santa Clara county. Thus Professor N. L. Darsie. as sistant dean of the University of California, southern branch, gave the preliminary results of an ex tensive state-wide study of the in telligence of the American-born children of Japanese residents con ducted by him and Professor L. N. Tcrnan of Stanford university. Professor Darsie stated that after an examination of 600 boys and girls, he and his colleagues had con cluded -that "from a standpoint of intelligence the Japanese are a more desirable class of immigrants than the people of southern Europe," but he emphasized he was speaking only from a standpoint of mental ability and' was not considering eco nomical and racial problems. Conclusions reached from tests of American and Japanese students in San Francisco and Los Angeles were: The Japanese are better spellers. The Japanese are superior in de portment, in effort and persever ance, and their capacity to learn rapidly is greater. The Americans are slightly in the lead in mathematics, English and history. No difference between Japanese and American children was found in regard to honesty and truthful ness, as compiled from teachers' records.

Adv. AX WOUND IS SOON HEALED BY MEDICLA Waringa Worked for Discov erer of Medicated Earth. Used for First Aid It Proves Effective. I have used Medlcla for a number of cuts and bruises." states E. L. Waringa of Kamiah, Idaho. "I was working: for Parker Pierce, the dis coverer, of Medlcla, cutting: and trimming: up trees. We ate our din ner and went to work.

We stopped the blood by apply ing Medlcla. I bandaged it with my pocket handkerchief. It healed readily and never pained me." The above characteristic letter was from a man who had experienced the powerful healing effect of this remarkable proauct or the iaano mountains when applied to fresh cuts. It has also proved effective . in cases of burns, bruises and oen sores. J Parker Pierce. named above, known in the Indian wars as "An telope Bill," was one of the two pros pectors who discovered this strange substance. They made many tests of it themselves and secured tha as sistance of prominent physicians who tried it out thoroughly in their practice. After its medicinal quali ties had been demonstrated beyond question, arrangements were made to bring it from the mine in quan tities and to pulverize and screen the minerals and pack it In sanitary .packages for distribution. Medicla is entirely harmless and can be applied externally or taken internally. Wherever it encounters sore or inflamed tissue it destroys the infection an soothes the pain.
